OVERRATED: The arc of 30 Rock:

(
NBC
)

At its peak, Tina Fey's screwball comedy was the funniest show on TV, and now a puzzlingly tepid sixth season feels reminiscent of watching a star athlete in decline. After years of greatness, even Michael Jordan lost a step, and as the show's razor-sharp timing slips, the jokes get more broad and Liz Lemon loses her way, it's hard not to wonder if the end is near. As sad as it may be, nothing lasts forever -- except maybe "The Simpsons."
